Summary
Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death.
In the ruins of post-war North America, a military state known as The Capitol controls twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them to send two teenagers each year to participate in The Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death.
Eighteen year old Ray Garraty already views the Games as a death sentence, but when a boy from his past volunteers to take the place of his younger sister he knows he's a goner for sure. Ray's a survivor, everyone says so, but what does it mean to compete in a death match when the thing you're fighting for isn't your own life?

I did it, I caved and beat-for-beat re-wrote THG with Ray and Pete. But there are still some surprises in there! As of updating this description I'm officially 2/3 of the way through the book! Hunger Games fans, you know what that means!
I would call this film characterisation combined with book lore. If you haven't read the book you'll probably just presume some characters are OCs lol. And if you haven't read The Hunger Games I (albeit briefly) explain the worldbuilding lore here, so you won't be lost.
